@paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @alice@lgbtqia.space funny story. I got to travel to Japan in the late 1980s with my dad. He was doing something with Matsushita, and I was sort of on my own. We had a bidet in our hotel room. But as a kid from Texas I didn’t even know the word bidet. And all the buttons (and there were many many buttons) were labeled only in Kanji. No iconography. Discovery was a string (stream?) of surprises! Also I will never understand Americans aversion to washing their privates.

    @paul_ipv6@infosec.exchange @alice@lgbtqia.space but this was also when I discovered Akihabara and all the amazing little stalls selling just one kind of thing. Now you have to go to Shenzhen for that.
